[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 49 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children) I have not heard of that association for a long time. Mostly it's just a lmaooo gotem -type of thing. For proof, read the other comments here. But sure, do give the nazis more ammo by giving ownership of such symbols to them. Edit: I recommend you read the parts about "the circle" game and White power symbol on this Wikipedia article. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago We're taking it back! permalink fedilink source parent [–] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago The wiki explains really well how it's not a white power symbol. It requires fingers pointing up and even in that case it's ambiguous. permalink fedilink source parent
